Will we see a second Revolution in America? |
Lead | |
|
This is a question I see on many blogs and forums and one I have been debating on the curio and relic forum. I see different people posting here than there and
am getting as much info on this as I can. As for my personal answer to this question, I think it is not only possible, but the mechanisms to start it are well
under way. We are now finding ourselves more under a socialistic form of government, which is not the American belief. We fundamentally believe in the
strengths of the individual, not of society as a whole. We have borders that are open to riff raff from all over the world. We will soon release prisoners from
Gitmo, where will they go---their homeland countries don't want them back--guess we'll just release them in the U.S. We have a banking system still on
the verge of collapse, after throwing several billion dollars at it and planning to throw a few more billion at it. The "official" unemployment is
the highest its been since 1982. More and more of the general populace are going to survivalist mode--take a look at the empty shelves at your local gun store,
see how many more in your neighborhoods are planting gardens and preserving their produce. Check how many of your neighbors have a "get out of Dodge"
plan for when the SHTF. What's your take---do you think we will see a second Revolution in America?

I am with you. I live in a predominantly conservative part of PA and people here are trying to pretend it is business as usual, but there are little things
happening that send out signals. Most reflect the trends of the rest of the country. People stocking up on canned and dried goods, generators are either being
bought or tuned up. Of course the ongoing gun hoard. More and more people talking about the "If anything happens" scenario. The writing is on the
wall, it's a matter of how long it will take people to read it.

You are right Hauptspritzer, the writing is on the wall. I think people are starting to see it now. It's starting to creep into their everyday lives in
places. The ever liberal State of California will be issuing IOU's to state employees and for tax returns. Now the State of Kansas has said it is
suspending all tax returns--if you owe you need to pay though. What State will be next?

When people are walking around with handfuls of IOU's and canceled check or letters saying 'we ain't paying' it will get ugly,quick.

Well, they got a reprieve today. California passed a budget and will be able to issue those checks after all. Kansas however is still trying to work out their
problem. And, I heard a brief newsclip of disturbance today on the Texas/Mexico border. They had some Texas State Senator on who said the State of Texas is
prepared for conflict, and the Fed. government needs to be ready. As I said, it was brief, and the station, CBS, didn't come back to it like maybe they
didn't want to cover it ???

That My just be where the trouble will start. there are too many people out there who have passionate beliefs on the subject of immigration. Just last July
there was an incident where two teens beat an illegal to death. That was a local story around here as it happened only 25 miles from me. It made national
headlines. There are DEEP feelings on the subject from both sides and it can get heated.

Don't know if that is where it will start. Google Illinois House Bill 687 and read the text of the bill. May be that I'm at ground zero.

that is a possibility. There are so many things wrong in this country that it is hard to say diffinitively where it will start.

Hauptspritzer, you see Glen Beck tonight? That's what I've been talking to anyone that will listen about. I'm afraid we are headed down one of
those paths.

He is covering several different scenarios that could happen to cause the breakup of the U.S. If you find it, when you watch it think about what is going on
around the country and the world, and your local area right now. I don't know about you, but I see a lot of this stuff begining to happen.

He was supposed to have the CIA and Military guy on again today to talk some more to them about it. I missed it, did you get a chance to catch it ?

On another front, the Sovereignty bills in State legislatures is now at 12. That is 12 States now have Sovereignty bills in their State Houses, it has passed
Texas and Oklahoma Houses, and are now in their State Senates. Also, suspected that 13 more States have Sovereignty bills in the works.
We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding
generation, more than the inhabitants of another country. --Thomas Jefferson
